Array As A Session Variable?

[cyber0ne]

Can PHP store an array as a value in a session variable? The following code seems to suggest that it can't since it gives me an error, but I wonder if there's maybe something else I just need to do or if someone has figured out a way to at least achieve the same functionality:

$_SESSION["UserGroups"] = {function that returns an array};$temp = $_SESSION["UserGroups"];echo $temp[count($temp) - 1];exit;

Is this something that can't be done by design, or is there a way to have an array follow a session? I did notice that count($temp) is 2 in the above code (though the original array returned by the function had 5 elements), but I don't know why...

I found this example showing arrays can be sotred in a Session variable

<?phpsession_start();$myarray = array('value1','value2','value3');$_SESSION['user_info'] = $myarray;?>

does that work?

does that work?

Indeed it does... I guess the problem lies elsewhere. I know that function is returning a 5-element array. Maybe I have a typo somewhere or something simple like that.In any event, you've given me something to go on. Thanks
